At least you can increment Web 2.0 at some (arbitrary) point. When did my PS2 cease to be Next Gen? When will (did?) my Wii?

There are two theories on video game generations.1. As soon as a sytem is released, it is no longer next-gen. It is current gen. That would mean that there is no next-gen right now.2. A system stays next-gen until it is replaced or the company stops making new systems. That would make the 360, the PS3, and the Wii next-gen.

So Eddie Burkett, your PS2 definitely stopped being next gen when the PS3 came out, and the Wii either stopped being next gen as soon as it came out, or will stop being next-gen when the next Nintendo console is announced.

Personally, I thought it stops being next-gen when Picard finally joins the poker game.

That said, I can't wait until Web 3.0 where the user has to generate 100% of the content for themselves. It'll save companies so much money on web design.

I do, in fact, remember the Suburbs. Early 80s when I was just ending my college career and entering the workforce is when I bought a ton of my vinyl collection. "Love is the Law" was an outstanding disc.
